[darcs-users] Darcs with cygwin error - "realdarcs.exe: do_stat: does not exist (No such file or directory)"

[Shmulik Regev]

Good tip zooko!

I've nailed the problem to a file with a non-ascii name. It seems that this
problem affects both the cygwin and non-cygwin darcs builds on windows.
Luckily for me this file was a temporary file that I didn't really care
about. BTW, it was a log file and hence should have been skipped by darcs as
it appeared in the boring list but I guess the error occurred earlier.

Thanks for the help on this.

Cheers,
Shmul
